 |
|
Hello,
I installed lots of Gentoo, but always with OpenRC, just 1 or 2 times with systemd.
Now we need to use "installkernel" tool to install kernel.
When i build my kernel, the system won't boot.
When i use the prebuilt kernel, the system boot.
I tried to use the config file of prebuilt kernel (i copied the config) and built with SAME config, the system won't boot.
I think the problem isn't the kernel, and not the configuration but other thing.
The system try to boot and blocked on "A start job is running for /dev/dis..db5550d452e46 (4min 20s / no limit)
After a long time, i enter to dracut shell.
I tried to use the "debian installkernel" ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installkernel#Debian.27s_installkernel so installkernel without systemd flag) but i can't have a system booted.
When i reboot on the prebuilt kernel, i don't have log on my root partition (to try to diagnose the issue)
The only thing i have to find the issue is this boot screen blocked to this state :

Can you help me ?
My config (which works on OpneRC) : https://pastebin.com/F7ZDxheP

Do you have lvm and/or luks in your setup ?
Dracut can't find your root device.
Do you use dracut to boot openrc gentoo ?
It seems to be dracut related ?
Some infos about the dracut config can be helpful. |

=> No, i usually use LVM, i tested in a VM with BIOS and only 1 / ext4 partition to exclude LVM issue
Dracut can't find your root device.
=> Looks like true. It's not a kernel panic, so i think the problem isn't the kernel, but i will try to search
Do you use dracut to boot openrc gentoo ?
=> Yes same installation : install kernel + grub (2) + dracut (generated by installkernel or manually)
It seems to be dracut related ?
=> Try to find
Some infos about the dracut config can be helpful.
=> No additionnal config for dracut, all set by default

I found this thread : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8783321.html#8783321
Switching from SCSI to SATA works well.
I think dracut is the problem, i will test some other things with SCSI support in dracut !
For the moment SATA works well

I'm not sure about it.
I used Gentoo previous times in the before UEFI era. It was simple.
EFI, uki, dracut, installkernel..I tried to use wiki, but couldn't get the kernel in efi partition or efi boot record for it.
It's too complicated for me.
I wrote a simple script which makes three simple actions - building the kernel, coping it to efi partition with config and creating an efi boot record for it. It's easy and it works for me.

sys-kernel/installkernel is not required, though you probably were using it before as well without realizing it. The kernel's 'make install' calls /sbin/installkernel if it is found, otherwise it copies the built kernel to /boot/vmlinuz.

I strongly suspect the issue is the kernel configuration, not the installation. But we'll need to see the installation logs to be sure.
